1822 10C XF45 NGC. JR-1, R.4. The 1822 dimes were all made
from a single die pair, and most examples known of the date are
either well-circulated or Mint State. This Choice XF piece is not
only quite lovely, it falls into that rare middle ground of
"high-grade circulated." The John Reich book authors estimate that
only 10 or so pieces fall into the XF-AU range. This piece boasts a
sharp strike, with all denticles full front and back, on a
well-centered and problem-free planchet. The original pinkish-gray
surfaces show marvelous eye appeal. Watch the bidder cards fly on
this one.From The Donald R. Frederick Collection of Early U.S. Coinage:
